It took so long for me to find you
It took so long for me to know
There are millions to be kind to
But only one I won’t let go
Of the thousands made for pleasure
There’s only one that’s gonna last
It took so long for me to find you
It took every minute of the past

It took so long for me to find out
Of all visions I had none
By books I was blinded
Because of rules I was numb
Now I’m not standin’ at your window
I’m not standin’ at your door
But when you dream upon your pillow
I’ll be lyin’ on your floor

Right in the middle 
Of a little drift to despair
Liftin’ my head
And seein’ you there

It took so long for me to find you
Didn’t take long for me to care
About what’s to come and what’s behind you
And every thought you’d like to share
I got a petal in my pocket
The one sayin’ that you do
It took so long
For me to find you
